About Us
Midterm Results Live (published as Midterm Results Live) is an independent, non-partisan website covering the 2026 U.S. midterm elections. We collect selected publicly released polls in the Senate and governor races, presidential approval and the generic congressional ballot, and present them in clear charts and tables that anyone can check.
What we publish
- Race pages for every 2026 Senate and governor contest, with every logged poll, a 14-day polling average, Cook Political Report and Sabato's Crystal Ball ratings, and candidate backgrounds.
- Original analysis explaining what the polls show, how to read them, and how election night works.
- Election-night tools: poll closing times for every state and a live results page that shows races only after a named decision desk calls them.
- A voter guide with official links for registration and voting information.
How we work
Our dataset records pollster names, field end dates and headline results. Many race records lack original-source links, sample sizes and field start dates; these gaps are labeled. We calculate equal-weight 14-day averages from logged polls. Details and limitations are in our methodology.
Independence
We do not endorse candidates, take money from campaigns, parties or PACs, or tell anyone how to vote. We describe polls; we do not predict winners or call races. The site is funded by advertising served by Google AdSense, under our independence notice.
Who runs this site
Midterm Results Live is published by Swati Singh, who is responsible for what appears on the site. Some articles and data summaries are drafted with the help of AI tools; every figure in them comes from the poll records and results data shown on our own pages, and each article links to the race pages behind it.
Where our numbers come from
- Polls: publicly released polls, logged with the pollster's name, field dates and, where available, sample size and a link to the original release. A poll counts toward our averages only after we have checked those details against the source (how we verify polls).
- Ratings: race ratings published by the Cook Political Report and Sabato's Crystal Ball, recorded with the date we logged them. Ratings are their judgments, not ours.
- Results: unofficial vote shares and race calls from the Fox News Decision Desk results pages for Senate and governor races, and House race calls by The Associated Press as shown on those pages. We never call a race ourselves, and every result is labeled with its source and update time.
- Voting dates and rules: official state election office websites only, each linked on our deadlines and state pages.
Corrections
If you find a number that does not match its source, a broken link or a wrong date, email hello@midtermresultslive.com with the page address and the correct figure or source. We correct errors on the page where they appear. A correction to a poll average or result is reflected the next time the site is rebuilt from the data.
What we do not do
- We do not predict winners or tell anyone how to vote.
- We do not accept money, ads or sponsorships from candidates, campaigns, parties, PACs or issue groups.
- We do not sell personal information. See the privacy policy.
